Hitachi EX 5600-6 overview

Hitachi EX 5600-6 features overview

Giant-Sized Productivity Based on Hitachi's Theory of Evolution.

Each Hitachi generation listens to the needs of the work site and gives birth to an even-better new generation.


High Visibility 7.64 Meter Cab Height

Gives the operator a clear view, even when a large 220 tonnes class dump truck is being loaded. This high height and forward-sloping cab provides a view that boosts productivity.


Engine

Efficient E-P Control

Hitachi's computer-aided Engine-Pump Control (E-P Control) coaxes optimum efficiency from the engines and hydraulic pumps. This innovative system senses load demand and controls engine and pump output for maximum operating efficiency.


Large Bucket

The large bucket has been shaped specifically to enhance scooping and loading operations. Its sharp tilt angle helps boost filling and operating efficiency.


MIC Mining

The MIC Mining comprises the DLU (Data-logging unit) which on the machine DLU continuously records performance data of the engine and the hydraulic system. The recorded data can be downloaded by PC and PDA.


Cab

Rugged Comfortable Cab

Oil-filled elastic mounts help absorb vibration to provide durability and a comfortable ride. The OPG top guard level II (ISO) is provided on the cab roof.


Efficient Cab Layout

The ergonomic layout of the cab means the operator will do less stretching and reaching when operating the controls. This adds up to less operator fatigue and greater operating efficiency.


Air Suspension Seat

The operator seat cushion can automatically be adjusted according to the operator weight. This is convenient for a machine operated by two or more operators.


Adjustable Sliding Cockpit

The operator can adjust the position of the levers and the seat to custom fit his size and operating style.


Constant-Cab-Comfort Air Conditioner

The operator can monitor machine conditions and operating status with a 10.5-inch color LCD. The controller provides instant fault diagnosis through all sensors, displaying warnings and countermeasures if failure arises.


Equipment

Major Functions

Multiple meters, and alert symbols indication Auto-idle function, that simultaneously reduces engine speed when the starter stores operating data, including five-minute operating data immediately before alerting, and recording one-minute data (temperatures, pressures, and more) Setting of changing intervals with alerting Much more for functions designed to ease maintenance and servicing.
